Objective To explore the different effects on the bleeding after the surgery of minimally invasive intracranial haematoma with drainage method.Methods The cases with minimally haematoma invasive operation were divided into A and B group.Group A simply used the liquefaction agent for blood clots( urokinase mixed with hyaluronidase),without washing step,and Group B used saline water to wash repeatedly and then use liquefaction agent to divert.Results The hematoma clearance rate of A group equal to that of B Group,while the rate of re-bleeding was ( 3.8 ％ ) obviously lower than than of B Group ( 22.7％ ) ( x2 =4.594,P ＜ 0.05 ).Condusion For many cases who have experienced the minimally invasive intracranial operation,the simple use of liquefaction agent can divert haematoma,and the risky rate of re-bleeding was obviously lowered.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have found that the basement membrane matrix can induced the chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels, but there is a wide gap between its mechanical properties and practical application, and further research is needed. OBJECTIVE:To prepare a suitable matrigel/chitosan scaffold that has appropriate mechanical properties and remarkable bioactivity for cartilage repair. METHODS: We selected genipin as cross-linking agent, and mixed Matrigel with cross-linked chitosan at different ratios (2:1, 1:1, 1:3). Then rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were seeded on different scaffolds and cultured for 14 days. The mechanical properties of materials were measured by DMA. Cel counting kit-8, FDA staining, ELISA kits and Alcian blue staining were used to measure the bioactivity of materials. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The storage modulus of scaffolds was raised from 0.48 kPa to 1.78 kPa with increase ratio of chitosan. Cels spread wel in the early period on al scaffolds, and then the cels on the chitosan scaffold showed reduced chondrogenic activity, but cels on the scaffolds with matrigel could maintain chondrogenic differentiation. The matrigel/chitosan scaffold at a ratio of 1:1 had appropriate mechanical properties and higher levels of colagen II and colagen X at 14 days. The prepared matrigel/chitosan scaffold with decent mechanical performance can promote the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels into chondrogenic lineages, which can be used in cartilage tissue engineering.

Objective To study the methods and efficacy of selective or superselective renal artery embolization for renal neoplasms,abcesses and bleeding. Methods Sixty cases of renal carcinomas and 4 cases of abcesses were all treated with selective renal artery embolization before surgery,and 3 cases of advanced renal carcinomas were treated with selective renal artery embolization alone.Embolization materials for carcinoma and abcesses were mainly gelfoam.Nine cases of renal angiomyolipomas,23 of traumatic renal hemorrhages,1 undergoing extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and 2 nephrolithotomy,all of whom had severe hematuria,were treated with selective or superselective renal segment artery embolization.Embolization materials for hemorrhages were mainly self-blood clots and(or) gelfoam,and the materials for angiomyolipoma were pure alcohol and(or) gelfoam. Results The sizes of carcinomas and abcesses were decreased in all of the 60 cases of renal carcinomas and 4 cases of renal abcesses.The edema around the carcinomas and abcesses became obvious,and bleeding was reduced,which were convenient for operation and prolonged survivals.All the renal bleeding were cured with selective or superselective renal artery embolization except for one traumatic case treated by operation for continuous bleeding.All these cases were followed up for 1 month to 18 years.One case had mild atrophy of kidney and in one case IVU didn't develop.All the others were in good condition. Conclusions Selective or superselective renal artery embolization is a safe,effective approach with less complications and most probability to preserve the diseased kidney. Renal artery embolization as a valuable treatment should be studied and widely applied.

Objective To investigate the hemodynamics and structural effect of rat endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) transplant on pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) induced by monocrotaline(MCT) in rats.Methods EPCs were identified and marked.Twenty-one days after injection of EPCs,the pulmonary hemodynamic parame- ters,average pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP),right heart index were determined.The vascular endothelial cells and pulmonary vascular structural changes were verified by fluoresccuse microscope.Results Compared with the model,EPCs treatment(n=10) decreased mPAP significantly (mPAP,EPCs:25.9?0.7 mmHg vs model group:29.3?2.2 mmHg,P

Aim Tostudytheeffectsofferulicacid (FA) on doxorubicin (DOX) induced cellular injury inH9c2ratmyocardialcells.Methods H9c2cells were treated with 1μmol·L-1 DOX treated for 24 h to establish a myocardial injury model. 10, 20, 40μmol ·L-1 FA was added 2 h before DOX treatment. Cell viability was measured by cell counter kit ( CCK-8 ) . Morphological changes were observed by phase contrast microscope. LDH, CK, MDA, SOD levels were detec-ted by biochemical kits. Intracellular level of reactive oxygen species ( ROS) was examined by DCF-DA stai-ning with flow cytometry. Cellular apoptosis was detec-ted by AO-EB staining and DNA agarose gel electro-phoresis. The expression of caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2 was evaluatedbyWesternblot.Results Exposureof H9c2 cells to DOX led to decrease in cell viability, in-crease in stress and apoptosis. FA pre-treatment im-proved cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, at-tenuated leakage of LDH and CK, and reversed mor-phological changes induced by DOX. FA suppressed DOX-induced oxidative stress as evidenced by reducing ROS and MDA generation and increasing SOD enzyme activity. FA depressed myocardial apoptosis by down-regulating pro-apoptotic protein caspase-3 and Bax, whereas up-regulating apoptosis inhibitory protein Bcl-2.Conclusions FAhasaprotectiveeffectonDOX-induced injury in H9c2 cells. This protection may re-sult from inhibition of myocardial oxidative stress and apoptosis.

AIM:To investigate the changes of CD27 and CD28 expression on cytokine-induced killer(CIK) cells and natural killer(NK) cells during cultivation.METHODS:The mononuclear cells were treated with interleukin-12(IL-2),IL-7,IL-15,stem cell factor and FLT3 ligand for four weeks. The CD27 and CD28 expression on CD3+CD56+ CIK cells and CD3-CD56+ NK cells were examined by flow cytometric analysis every week during four-week cultivation.RESULTS:The expression of CD27 on CIK and NK cells two weeks after cultivation reached the peak value at(44.57?4.07)% and(51.02?5.20)%,respectively. Then,their expression declined gradually to about 30% in the fourth week. The expression of CD28 on CIK and NK cells reached the peak at the third and the second week,the values were (4.40?0.66)% and (45.14?3.58)%,respectively,decreased rapidly and then were almost completely lost at the fourth week. CONCLUSION:According to the changes of expressions of CD27 and CD28 on CIK/NK cells,optimal harvest time of cultured CIK/NK cells should be at the third week of cultivation.

Objective:To study interferon alpha (IFN-α) inhibition of proliferation and apoptosis induction of human brain vascular adventitial fibroblasts(HBVAFs)via IFI16.Methods:Cultured HBVAFs were treated with transfection IFI16 siRNA and/or IFN-α in vitro instantaneously.The protein and mRNA levels of IFI16,P53,P21 were measured by Western blot and Real-time PCR.MTT was used to detect the cell proliferation of the HBVAFs.Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry.Results:IFN-α with terminal concentration of 2 000-5 000 kU/L induce significantly expression of IFI16 in HBVAFs,without any significant difference.Stimulated with 2 000 kU/L IFN-α up-regulated the expression of P53,P21 at protein and mRNA levels,and inhibited the cell proliferation and promote cells apoptosis in HBVAFs.Such effect was restrained by transfection with IFI16 siRNA into HBVAFs.Conclusion:IFN-α inhibits HBVAFs proliferation and induces apoptosis may partly relate to the increased IFI16 expression.

The effects of betulinic acid (BA), a pentacyclic lupane-type triterpene, on the cell viability, cell cycle and apoptosis in human leukemia K562 cells were investigated. The effects of BA on the growth of K562 cells were studied by MTT assay. Apoptosis was assayed through Annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) double-labeled cytometry. The effects of BA on the cell cycle of K562 cells were studied by a PI method. The expression of Bax and capase-3 was detected by using Western blot. The results showed that BA was cytotoxic to K562 cells with an IC(50) of 21.26 mug/mL at 24 h. After treating K562 cells with 10 mug/mL BA for 72 h, the number of cells was reduced by 58%. BA induced apoptosis of K562 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The proportion of cells in G(0)/G(1) and G(2)/M phases was decreased and that in S phase was increased after K562 cells were treated with BA for 24 h. BA treatment also increased the expression of the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and caspase-3. It suggested that BA could inhibit the proliferation of K562 cells through the induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The antitumor effects of BA were related with up-regulation of the expression of Bax and caspase-3 proteins. BA may qualify for the development of new therapies for leukemia.
